Ranked from 152 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Its basically "Rewind" so you manipulate or Re Align the Wind to solve puzzles and save a hot air ballon from getting destroyed.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did everything from scratch except the music!

A pretty relaxing game until your balloon pops when you're almost at the end, haha. Honestly it's slightly frustrating when you got so far and your balloon just misaligned slightly and popped. Perhaps I'm to bad for this game xD.

I think the control scheme is pretty weird. I think left mouse button for blowing is more practical and that way i can finish the game with one hand only :p

I love the relaxing game and the graphics are cute. Great job, not a bad design although the rewind mechanic is a little loose.

Very well done indeed, although it's not exactly my cup of tea, I can see myself playing when I was younger and less stressful. Really nice game. Congratz for making this!

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah I know that theres no Rewind mechanic directly in the game but I interpret the theme in my own (special) way. I switched some letters and added some so from Rewind to REalign (the) WIND. Its a pretty different idea of the theme but I like it xD

Submitted

Well, as long as you enjoy what you're doing, there's really no other reason to follow what you're limited to in a game jam :). Hope you release a full version, or another inspired game soon

Developer

Thank you ! I started gamedev february this year and published some mini games. If you want you can try them out :D

Submitted

Congrats on yr game! :) 

Developer

Thank your very much!

Submitted

Cool concept but i didnt think there was any Rewind aspect to it. other than that great game fun to play


take some time to check mine out too https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/724639

Developer

Yeah theres no rewind mechanic you are right. But my game should be another interpretation of the theme. You have to REalign the WIND. I wanted to make something different and develope my own (funny) Interpretation

Submitted

Looks like you did what you intended congrats on the 100 ratings by the way

Submitted

Nice game but the mouse scroll sensitivity was more, some type of clamping between every 15 degrees will make more playable but nice concept.

Submitted

Hard to control at first, but really fun once i got the hang of it.  Love the cloud transition effect

Developer

Thank you very much! The controls were very hard to choose for me xD Tried several options but the current one was the best (I think)

Submitted

Thought the game was really nice but i didn't manage to get very far. Tried a lot of times though.

I keep getting stuck at the same point where it shoots a projectile. I'm always just too slow to pass that point. I even tried lowering the balloon more, so maybe it would have more velocity shooting up, but didn't seem to help. Not sure what i'm doing wrong in that part of how to get passed it.

I really fell in love with the visuals and especially the audio. The blow effect and that music is so so good. Almost brought me back to those childhool feelings i got playing games like "Donkey Kong Country".

Nice game ^^ Wish i managed to see more of it.

Please have a try at my game and let me know what you think :)

Developer

Hey man! I know which part you ment! I should have introduced the mechanic in a better way i think. Becuaser theres one cloud which looks different (you can push it too) So you have to blow your balloon and the cloud at the same height and hide behind the cloud to avoid the obstacles. I would love to hear your further feedback if you would like to try it again ;D And thank you for the nice feedback! I will check your game now! :D

Submitted

Hehe :) Now i managed to pass it.

Didn't really bring the cloud with me the first try so i felt kinda frustrated that further in the level i didn't have one. So maybe an improvement would be to add another one in the second section. Also because dragging it along that far is kinda tedious.

While i was thinking about that, i thought a more interesting version of an indestructable cloud could be something that you can use once or twice before it pops. But only if it's not too hard.

In the third level one of the spikes is maybe just a tad too close to the buildings maybe. Would feel more rewarding if there was just a ittle bit more margin.

But anyways good job on the game mate ^^ Keep jamming!

Submitted

It's a really cool idea that you can control the balloon with the wind although it's quite difficult to avoid the spikes (especially the moving ones)

I'm not sure if that's a common problem as no one else wrote it in the comments but when I play the game and start a level before I do anything, all the objects are shaking. It stops when I start moving the balloon with the hairdryer.

You did a really good job with that game :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Many people mentioned this problem, thats a bug in my camera script i think xD 

Submitted

Really cool game, though difficulty curve could be improved, game is pretty hard from beggining, particle effect which plays when you pop baloon looks a bit weird, also i would recommend you to go to your canvas, and in canvas scaler set it to scale with screen size, should fix issue with canvas when playing not fullscreen

Developer(+1)

Thank your for the feedback! :D

Submitted

Played & rated! Really like the blower controls, it's quite fun to play around with :)

The sound felt nice & the transitions are very smooth which is enjoyable to look at!

Great work on this game :)

Developer

Thank you very much!

Oh. Wow. This game is really fun to play with! Very creative and and nice take on the topic! The controls are really fun and interactive to mess with! One advice i can give is maybe to automatically face the air gun towards the balloon, so that it will be easier to blow the balloon, especially when trying to brake it and stop it from going into obstacles. The position of the air gun can still be on one mouse, giving player the freedom to preview the level, just changing the rotation will be fine. Also, i though the towers was the background at first, so i bumped into it and died xD Maybe a better differentiation between the tower and the background will be better. This is one of the best games i have played in the jam! Dropped a nice rating :)

Developer

Thank you very much! I tried many control options and the current one was the most pleasant and comfortable one. Thanks for your advice though :D

Submitted(+1)

Really liked the game. Altough sometimes it was uclear whether the object was a solid or a movable. Other than that great game :)

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

I like how you made the game. The controllers are interesting especially the idea that the camera follows 2 objects (cursor and the balloon). There is a small problem when the cursor is close to the clouds at the beginning, because the camera start to shakes, but later on everything is ok. I liked the game a lot :)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! :D

nice game, peaceful music, innovative controls!

Developer

Thanks I appreciate that you liked the music!

Submitted(+1)

I think it was okay, the way you 'reinvented''rewind'...

Submitted(+1)

Hey man! Cool game, I enjoyed it. Really nice sound effects and game loop overall. I was thinking that some of the obstacles could be highlighted a bit more, since some of them kind of melted in with the background! Anyhow it was great, keep it up!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

It's a really nice little game. Easy to control, good graphics, cool idea, interesting take on the theme. I also really liked the cloud transition effect. I hope you continue developing your game!

Developer

Thank you very much! There are some updates in the future and it will come for mobile ^^

Submitted

This game controls well and has a really nice look. I had some trouble with the cloud part in level 2, I get that you can block the shots but it was still difficult. I guess my main criticism is that I wish it was a little easier so if there were checkpoints that would have gone a long way.

Developer(+1)

Yeah the missing checkpoints are a big mistake xD but I had no time to implement them :D

Submitted

Awesome little game! Its nice to see a different interpretation of re-WIND 🤣 I love the graphics and your choice of music. Some feedback is that your credits are a little slow. (I looked at that first and almost didnt have the patience to wait) Maybe add a button to skip it. The spikes were an intersting obstacle, seeing how you can make them change size and position to turn into different types of challenges along the way. A thing you could do is choose something like a bird or plane instead of spikes (which fits the skies more) Overall its a nice, cute and short little game. Nice job for someone who just started out!

Feel free to try my game out and leave some feedback too. Im a young develper but im currently a little short on ratings. Thanks!

Developer

thanks for your feedback i will take a look at your game now! 😁

Submitted

Nice game! I think the game could have benefited from the use of checkpoints, but other than that, really nice work!

Developer

thank you very much, if i had more time left i had implemented check points

Submitted

Really cool game! I really thought the controls are going to be weird but it's surprisingly really natural! Really liking the music as well!

Developer

Thank you very much! I appreciate that you liked my game!
